.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.B ibv_create_qp()
creates a queue pair (QP) associated with the protection domain
.I pd\fR.
The argument
.I qp_init_attr
is an ibv_qp_init_attr struct, as defined in <infiniband/verbs.h>.
.PP

.PP
The function
.B ibv_create_qp()
will update the
.I qp_init_attr\fB\fR->cap
struct with the actual \s-1QP\s0 values of the QP that was created;
the values will be greater than or equal to the values requested.
.PP
.B ibv_destroy_qp()
destroys the QP
.I qp\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.B ibv_create_qp()
returns a pointer to the created QP, or NULL if the request fails.
Check the QP number (\fBqp_num\fR) in the returned QP.
.PP
.B ibv_destroy_qp()
returns 0 on success, or the value of errno on failure (which indicates the failure reason).
.SH "NOTES"
.B ibv_create_qp()
will fail if a it is asked to create QP of a type other than
.B IBV_QPT_RC
or
.B IBV_QPT_UD
associated with an SRQ.
.PP
The attributes max_recv_wr and max_recv_sge are ignored by
.B ibv_create_qp()
if the QP is to be associated with an SRQ.
.PP
.B ibv_destroy_qp()
fails if the QP is attached to a multicast group.
.PP
.B IBV_QPT_DRIVER
does not represent a specific service and is used for vendor specific QP logic.
